Steering Loodswezen to Microsoft Azure: Scalable Cloud Migration for 24/7 Maritime Operations

Written by Rolf Bonninga | 21.9.2026

How Utilus helps Loodswezen transition mission-critical 24/7 maritime operations to Microsoft Azure.

 

The need

From an IT perspective, Loodswezen is a complex operation, utilising numerous software applications traditionally operated from data centers. The organisation aims to transition all these applications to the cloud (Microsoft Azure). To facilitate in this process, Loodswezen has enlisted the services of Utilus.

 

Why Utilus?

The collaboration between Utilus and Loodswezen was established due to Utilus’ extensive experience with Microsoft Azure, and its proven track record in implementing scalable, 24/7 operational IT systems. Furthermore, Utilus’ roadmap ensures that Loodswezen maintains control over the transition to the cloud.

 

The solution

While Loodswezen had already begun experimenting with the Azure cloud environment, Utilus is now assisting in transferring various software applications to the cloud, while simultaneously professionalising the IT environment.

 

The benefits

Moving applications to the cloud enhances their scalability and accessibility across different divisions of Loodswezen. Additionally, transitioning from data centers to cloud solutions will enable Utilus to secure knowledge and manage costs more effectively.
